Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 69: The Land of Dharma
All the disciples below the stage said yes in unison, and then quietly left the hall in an orderly manner.

Xu Yang looked up at Lin Shuyun who had sat down again. His eyes fixed on her and he took a step forward, looking like he wanted to say something else.

"Go down..."

Lin Shuyun seemed to have known for a long time that he wanted to speak out to save his future, so he spoke softly with a calm expression.

Although his tone was light, it contained a resolute meaning. After a pause, Xu Yang bowed and left...

After a while, only Chen Mu and some other meritorious people were left in the hall.

Lin Shuyun then smiled slightly and reached out to take out a blue storage bag above the left hem of her skirt. There was a faint embroidery of a sky lake on the surface, which was not clear, but the shape was indeed exquisite.

She pointed at the storage bag with one finger, and the next moment, hundreds of white rays of light burst out from the bag one after another, hanging in the air, making the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly become richer.

"Mid-grade spirit stone..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he looked carefully, only to find that the spirit stone hanging in the air was a circle larger than before, and there seemed to be clouds and mist inside, and the spiritual energy was much stronger.

Lin Shuyun didn't say much. He raised his hand and waved it lightly as if it were boneless. The spirit stones in the air split into several groups and rushed towards Chen Mu and others below.

Chen Mu looked at the group of spirit stones flying in front of him. At a glance, he saw exactly fifty of them.

"As far as I know, mid-grade spirit stones can not only be used for cultivation, but are also essential for driving some puppet magic tools or spirit boat magic tools. This is because mid-grade spirit stones contain more pure and profound spiritual energy, making them much more useful than low-grade spirit stones..."

"This is why, even though the spiritual energy contained in a mid-grade spirit stone is roughly the sum of the spiritual energy contained in ten low-grade spirit stones, few people would exchange a mid-grade spirit stone for a low-grade one..."

Chen Mu smiled slightly, waved his sleeves, and fifty spirit stones rushed into the storage bag.

Immediately afterwards, three bottles of Heyuan Dan flew over and he collected them as well.

After everyone had packed up, Lin Shuyun put the items back into the storage bag and said softly, "Ge Guanghe and the others can go back first... The rest of you, follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shuyun walked towards the side door of the hall.

Seeing this, Ge Guanghe and others looked at the remaining disciples with envy, but then they bowed and retreated.

Zong Bing followed silently without saying a word.

Chen Mu had never been to the depths of the hall before, so he looked a little surprised when he saw this. Isn't the peak master's residence in the depths of the hall?
"Junior brother, let's go... Master is going to take us to the secret place of Tianhu Peak. Inside are precious spells collected by successive Tianhu Peak masters, which are rarely shown to the public..."

Han Jing, who was standing by, saw Chen Mu looking a little pensive, so she turned sideways and smiled softly.

"Tianhu Peak's... place for hiding the Dharma?" Chen Mu was startled, feeling a little surprised: "The sect actually allows Tianhu Peak to hide the Dharma alone?"

Han Jing smiled upon hearing this and explained, "It's not just Tianhu Peak, there's Dutian Peak as well... Although they belong to the same sect, after the third generation ancestor set up a competition for resources, the two peaks became competitors..."

"Once there's competition between monks, no matter how good their previous relationship was, they'll all harbor some secrets... If even humans are like this, what's more, our two peaks are like this."

Chen Mu nodded suddenly, then suppressed his thoughts and chuckled, "I see... Let's go."

Exiting the side door of the main hall, there was another long corridor, flanked by a mirror-like lake. Chen Mu quietly peered in and spotted several cyan carp, imbued with a demonic aura. They were swimming restlessly, seemingly following their path, incredibly agile. "These are the disciples of the Green Jade Dragon Carp... Junior Brother, don't try to target them."

Han Jing seemed to be Chen Mu's personal assistant. Whenever she saw Chen Mu staring at something, she couldn't wait to explain it to him...

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu turned his gaze towards Han Jing and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister, why did you remind me like this?"

Han Jing pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her head slightly to avoid Chen Mu's sight, and whispered, "When I first became my master's disciple, I was curious and cast a spell to catch two of them. But before I could do anything to them, an inexplicable hoarse voice warned me to release them immediately. I was so frightened that I quickly released them..."

"At first I thought it was a senior from the peak playing a trick on me, or that the carp in the lake were raised by him, but then I realized..."

Before she could finish her words, Han Jing's face darkened. With her almond-shaped eyes wide open, she whispered, "There's a monster in the lake... a powerful Foundation Establishment monster. My master said it's a Jade Dragon Carp. I don't know which Tianhu Peak Master caught it. It's been in our Tianhu Lake for hundreds of years."

"A great demon that has established its foundation!" Chen Mu's heart moved, and he looked at the carp swimming happily in the lake, but it had disappeared.

Han Jing continued, "But there's no need to be restrained, Junior Brother. Master said it has a gentle temperament and has never hurt anyone. As long as we don't deliberately provoke it, there will be no danger."

Chen Mu nodded and continued walking with her.

After a while, everyone walked around several pavilions on the lake and came to a simple side hall.

Chen Mu looked up and saw that the side hall in front of him was not big and was covered by a round green light.

Lin Shuyun took out a green token and flicked it with a wave of his hand. The token suddenly flew forward and fit perfectly into the concave part of the stone tablet outside the light shield.

The next moment, the green light shield dimmed and disappeared.

Lin Shuyun led everyone in and strode in. The layout inside was extremely simple and was roughly divided into three areas.

The right side is the largest area, occupying half of the side hall. The middle one is slightly smaller, occupying a small half of the side hall. The remaining area on the left looks like no more than the abbot's space.

There are more or less some simple and natural wooden shelves between the right and middle areas, on which are placed many jade slips.

On the far left, several stone pillars half a person's height were piled up. Atop each pillar was a wooden slip with inscriptions in tiny, regular script.

Lin Shuyun stopped, turned around, and whispered, "On the right are some mid-level spells with strange effects. In the middle are high-level spells. And on the far left are some top-level spells that successive Tianhu Peak masters have diligently collected... and a few incomplete treasure spells..."

"As I said before, everyone should choose one...quickly."

Chen Mu and the others bowed in agreement and dispersed to the areas corresponding to their rewards.

After walking a few steps, Chen Mu arrived at the area on the far left, and Zong Bing was with him.

At this moment, she was examining the wooden slips one by one. When she felt Chen Mu approaching, she raised her eyes and nodded, then immersed herself in it again.

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, then took a few steps forward to the side of the stone pillar. He lowered his head slightly and looked intently at the words on the wooden slip...
